In the process of global economy development and competition, how to strengthen the cooperation of enterprises in the supply chain environment plays a very important role to the success of enterprises. As well known, the IT technology is one of the quite essential factors to provide quicker and more accurate information for the enterprises, and therefore enhance the enterprises’ operation efficiency. In order to adapt to the supply chain (SC) environment and support for other enterprises’ common development in SC, we have to develop more powerful and unified IT technology. What is elaborated in this paper is the framework of the information cooperation system which is SC oriented. It does not deny or overthrow the legacy applications of enterprises, but to put forward a framework based on the old applications in SC. It also unifies the Web Service and references the principles of VPN. We call it the framework of Virtual Private Supply Chain Management (VPSCM). The principle, the model and the use of VPSCM as well as some other related issues are going to be explained in this paper.

Supply Chain Management System

Agile supply chain management is becoming an important subject in steel business management and technological innovation in China. Through researching on agile supply chain management in Iron and steel enterprises, advices and schemes are proposed which will accelerate the development of Chinese steel industry, enhance its market responsiveness and competitiveness, and help it obtains cost advantage. In this work, we apply Service-Oriented Architecture and Web Service technology into the agile supply chain management system in steel industry, and build agile supply chain information sharing platform which is based on Web Service, so the system will achieve data sharing and operation sharing, so as to achieve applications that is cross-platform, cross-system and high multiplexing distributed.

While artificial intelligence (AI) in supply chains (SC) has become a popular topic, there is a distinct lack of conceptual frameworks with which to categorize and review how various subtopics of AI can help in subfields of supply chain management. To address this gap, this chapter conceptualizes the new topic of SC AI through a human-mimicking intelligent agent that exhibits “smart” SC behavior. It then develops several SC AI capability blocks for the intelligent agent and reviews and synthesizes studies to date within these capability blocks. The chapter concludes by highlighting several industrial use cases and extant challenges reported in the literature that need to be tackled to move this exciting new field forward.

Purpose The study adopted a conceptualized technological, organizational and environmental (TOE) model to empirically investigate the factors affecting hotel managers’ attitudes toward intelligent agent technology (IAT) adoption in the hotel food supply chain management (HFSCM) and their intentions for future adoption. Design/methodology/approach In-person survey was carried out in luxury hotels in Florida. Findings The findings indicated that merely 5.7 per cent of hotels are fully implementing IAT. Perceived benefits, reliability, quality of human resources, information intensity and market capabilities had a statistically significant positive impact on hotel managers’ attitudes. However, complexity and cost had a negative influence on hotel managers’ attitudes toward IAT adoption in the HFSCM. Managers’ attitude further positively influences their intention to adopt. Practical implications The validated model helps guide hotel decision makers who are considering IAT adoption in the HFSCM. Hotels that are seeking sources for competitive advantages would better consider the TOE factors in IAT adoption prior to making a decision. Originality/value This is the first study that examined IAT adoption in the hotel industry from a theoretical and empirical perspective. The validated model proposed for the adoption of IAT in HFSCM enriched the TOE model and the diffusion of innovations theory.
